Again, a horse to the face, as I described it, comes down from above and the flexibility in the wrist will lend it whipping power. It doesn't go straight in, bone-to-bone as a Beng would. Also, it's easy to adjust to your opponent's head movements. Granted, it won't hit with as much force as Beng, but it'll hurt badly and your hand won't suffer, either.

I say kick down into his knee and beng him in the stomach.

Bao wrote:Beng to the face? My bengquan is stronger at stomach/chest level. I would prefer paoquan or a high "brush knee" at face level. Or maybe vertical arm swing with the lower arm as surface. But I would defenitively choose beng to the stomach area and ribs.


I usually throw beng as three or five punches at varying heights.
It can look something like:
1) beng as an entering technique to the head to get my opponent to block
2) go over the top of the bridge with a second beng to the face
3) lead hand goes back under to hit the chest
4) other hand goes back over to hit the face
5) lead goes over and hits the face again.

So I am for several different targets and fire beng off like a machine gun. :)
